Proposed Distribution of Sydney Airport Securities to MGL Shareholders

On 1 November 2013, MGL announced that, subject to shareholder approval, it proposes to distribute the majority of its Sydney Airport stapled securities to MGL's shareholders. MGL currently holds approximately 17% of Sydney Airport's stapled securities as an investment.

A shareholder meeting to approve the distribution and consolidation, including changes to MGL's Constitution to facilitate the proposal, is scheduled for 12 December 2013. If the proposal is approved, the distribution is expected to occur on or about 13 January 2014. The distribution is intended to be implemented as a combination of a special dividend and equal reduction of MGL's ordinary share capital, which will be satisfied by the in specie distribution to eligible MGL shareholders of one Sydney Airport stapled security for every MGL ordinary share held by MGL shareholders.

MGL published its notice of meeting and explanatory memorandum relating to the proposed distribution and consolidation on 7 November 2013.

Element Title
global growth, or concerns of a systemic shock, the Macquarie Group's financial performance, business or strategy may be adversely affected.

Funding Risk The Macquarie Group relies on equity and debt markets for funding its business. Further instability in these markets may affect the Macquarie Group's ability to access funding, particularly the ability to issue long-term debt securities, to replace maturing liabilities in a timely manner and to access the funding necessary to grow its businesses. In addition, an increase in credit spreads may increase the Macquarie Group's cost of funding.

Liquidity Risk The Macquarie Group is exposed to the risk that it may become unable to meet its financial commitments when they fall due, which could arise due to mismatches in cashflows. Liquidity is essential to the Macquarie Group's businesses. Liquidity could be impaired by an inability to access credit and debt markets, an inability to sell assets or unforeseen outflows of cash or collateral. In difficult credit and debt markets the Macquarie Group may be forced to find alternative funding sources or fund its operations at a higher cost.

Regulatory Risk Some of the Macquarie Group's businesses are highly regulated, including regulation relating to prudential and liquidity requirements. Failure to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, including tax laws and regulations, and rules relating to conflicts of interest, corrupt and illegal payments and money laundering, or government policies, may have an adverse effect on the Macquarie Group and its reputation among customers and regulators in the market.

Credit Rating Risk Certain Macquarie Group entities are assigned credit ratings based on an evaluation of a number of factors. If one or more of these credit ratings were downgraded this could have the effect of increasing the cost of funds raised by the Macquarie Group from financial markets, reducing the Macquarie Group's ability to access certain capital markets, triggering the Macquarie Group's obligations under certain of its contracts, and/or adversely impacting the willingness of counterparties to deal with the Macquarie Group.

Competition Risk The Macquarie Group faces significant competition from local and international competitors, which compete vigorously for participation in the various markets and sectors across which the Macquarie Group operates. The effect of competitive market conditions may adversely impact the earnings and assets of the Macquarie Group.

If any of the risks described in this section actually occur, the businesses, competitive position, financial performance, financial condition, operations, prospects or reputation of MGL, as well as other entities within the Macquarie Group, could be materially and adversely affected, with |

the result that the value, trading price and/or liquidity of MGL's equity and debt securities (including the PD Debt Instruments) could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment.
D.3 Key risks that are specific to the PD Debt Instruments There are also risks associated with the PD Debt Instruments. These include a range of market risks (including that there may be no or only a limited secondary market in the PD Debt Instruments, that the value of an investor's investment may be adversely affected by exchange rate movements where the PD Debt Instruments are not denominated in the investor's own currency, that any credit rating assigned to the PD Debt Instruments may not adequately reflect all the risks associated with an investment in the PD Debt Instruments and that changes in interest rates will affect the market value of Debt Instruments which bear interest at a fixed rate), the fact that the conditions of the PD Debt Instruments may be modified without the consent of the holder in certain circumstances, that the holder may not receive payment of the full amounts due in respect of the PD Debt Instruments as a result of amounts being withheld by the Issuer in order to comply with applicable law and that investors are exposed to the risk of changes in law or regulation affecting the market value of PD Debt Instruments held by them. If any of the risks described in this section actually occur, the value, trading price and/or liquidity of the PD Debt Instruments could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment.
